Senior Mechanical Design Engineer
Berkhamsted or Birmingham | Hybrid Working
I'm currently working with a well-established, privately owned engineering consultancy that is looking to appoint a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to join its growing Building Services team.
This is an excellent opportunity to work on a diverse portfolio of projects across the residential, commercial, education, industrial, cultural and regeneration sectors, delivering innovative and sustainable mechanical building services solutions from concept through to completion.

- Designing HVAC, mechanical and public health systems, including calculations, specifications and technical drawings.
- Producing drawings using AutoCAD (Revit experience is advantageous).
- Carrying out energy modelling using IES software, including Part L compliance, overheating analysis, TM54, BREEAM HEA04 and Net Zero Carbon assessments where applicable.
- Completing SAP calculations and producing domestic EPCs.
- Supporting projects through all design stages, from concept to detailed design and technical coordination.

Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
